Sophonias 2
1 Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
convenite congregamini gens non amabilis
2 before you become as the flower that passes away, before the anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the wrath of the Lord come upon you.
priusquam pariat iussio quasi pulverem transeuntem diem antequam veniat super vos ira furoris Domini antequam veniat super vos dies furoris Domini
3 Seek you the Lord, all you meek of the earth; do judgement, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that you may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
quaerite Dominum omnes mansueti terrae qui iudicium eius estis operati quaerite iustum quaerite mansuetum si quo modo abscondamini in die furoris Domini
4 For Gaza shall be utterly spoiled, and Ascalon shall be destroyed; and Azotus shall be cast forth at noon-day, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
quia Gaza destructa erit et Ascalon in desertum Azotum in meridie eicient et Accaron eradicabitur
5 Woe to them that dwell on the border of the sea, neighbours of the Cretans! the word of the Lord is against you, O Chanaan, land of the Philistines, and I will destroy you out of [your] dwelling-place.
vae qui habitatis funiculum maris gens perditorum verbum Domini super vos Chanaan terra Philisthinorum et disperdam te ita ut non sit inhabitator
6 And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.
et erit funiculus maris requies pastorum et caulae pecorum
7 And the sea cost shall be for the remnant of the house of Juda; they shall pasture upon them in the houses of Ascalon; they shall rest in the evening because of the children of Juda; for the Lord their God has visited them, and he will turn away their captivity.
et erit funiculus eius qui remanserit de domo Iuda ibi pascentur in domibus Ascalonis ad vesperam requiescent quia visitabit eos Dominus Deus eorum et avertet captivitatem eorum
8 I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts.
audivi obprobrium Moab et blasphemias filiorum Ammon quae exprobraverunt populo meo et magnificati sunt super terminos eorum
9 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus [shall be] left as a heap of the threshing floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.
propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel quia Moab ut Sodoma erit et filii Ammon quasi Gomorra siccitas spinarum et acervi salis et desertum usque in aeternum reliquiae populi mei diripient illos residui gentis meae possidebunt eos
10 This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
hoc eis eveniet pro superbia sua quia blasphemaverunt et magnificati sunt super populum Domini exercituum
11 The Lord shall appear against them, and shall utterly destroy all the gods of the nations of the earth; and they shall worship him every one from his place, [even] all the islands of the nations.
horribilis Dominus super eos et adtenuabit omnes deos terrae et adorabunt eum vir de loco suo omnes insulae gentium
12 You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
sed et vos Aethiopes interfecti gladio meo eritis
13 And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, [even] as a desert.
et extendet manum suam super aquilonem et perdet Assur et ponet speciosam in solitudinem et in invium et quasi desertum
14 And flocks, and all the wild beasts of the land, and chameleons shall feed in the midst thereof: and hedgehogs shall lodge in the ceilings thereof; and wild beasts shall cry in the breaches thereof, and ravens in her porches, whereas her loftiness was [as] as cedar.
et accubabunt in medio eius greges omnes bestiae gentium et onocrotalus et ericius in liminibus eius morabuntur vox cantantis in fenestra corvus in superliminari quoniam adtenuabo robur eius
haec est civitas gloriosa habitans in confidentia quae dicebat in corde suo ego sum et extra me non est alia amplius quomodo facta est in desertum cubile bestiae omnis qui transit per eam sibilabit et movebit manum suam
